Fantastic guide and tour

We had a fantastic tour with David! We communicated a bit before and from the moment we met to when he walked us back to our cruise ship, everything was wonderful! He was very informative and showed us the best local treats to get! We were very glad to have him as our guide around Amsterdam!

Van Gogh Museum Tour Reserved Entry Semi Private

Patrick_S, May 2026

Guide Anita Gosschalk Liemburg is excellent!

It lasted just the right amount of time. I wanted to learn more about Van Gough, but did not want a PhD in him. Anita Gosschalk Liemburg, our guide did a wonderful presentation with just enough information. She has extensive experience working for the museum before becoming a guide.

Very enjoyable experience, the time in the gardens was just perfect, not too long, not too short. Good time to wander around and have lunch there. The visit to the windmills was also very unique experience with plenty of time to enjoy the different shops, learn the history of the place and take some wonderful photos!

Zaanse Schans Windmills, Cheese and Volendam Tour from Amsterdam

Justin_W, Oct 2025

A lovely experience of Holland outside of the usual Amsterdam

Rick was one of the best tour guides I've experienced in a long while. He was informative, and knowledgeable, as well as giving the group an insight into the Dutch life and its peoples. While a long experience, we saw a lot, from cheese making and tasting, to clog making, a seaside village and all those windmills. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the day, and would highly recommended it.

Nazi WWII Concentration Camp Small Group Tour from Amsterdam

Anonymous, Oct 2025

Book This Now

Eva's storytelling brought the past to life, painting a vivid picture of historical events against the backdrop of the locations themselves. Her narratives focused on individual stories of choice, bravery, and courage, highlighting the accounts of people who chose to resist rather than be swept away by the prevailing current of events. The experience was deeply enhanced by the locations, which offered not only visual context but also a tangible connection to the past. Eva intimately shared her own family's personal journey, detailing their preparation for survival, the challenges of hiding, and their life after the war. This personal connection transformed the historical account from a simple story into a deeply moving and relatable human experience. The tour also provided a powerful moment of reflection, showing what the one's destiny could have been if they hadn't made certain choices, while also paying solemn respects to those who were not as fortunate in their circumstances or fate. What began as a simple online booking evolved into a pivotal moment of reflection on the past and present, not just as an individual but also for our entire small group. (Thank you Peter, Sharon, and Eva.) This was a truly unforgettable experience, and one that will never be forgotten.

Amsterdam: Red Light District Bar Crawl

Gabriela_T, Sep 2025

We had such a great...

We had such a great experience on this bar crawl! It was super interactive, and you were actually able to get to know people within your group because the hosts would initiate conversations or games amongst the group. This is great for a solo traveller who wants to make friends or even groups of people who want to make more friends. Andre, Tay, and Soraya were amazing hosts! Would highly recommend this bar crawl if you’re ever in Amsterdam.
